Getting too many entries, MS access

Hi.

I use this MS-ACCESS SQL query:

Quote:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM (SELECT TOP 3 * FROM piReport ORDER BY pi_datePi DESC) DERIVEDTBL ORDER BY pi_datePi ASC) DERIVEDTBL2 ORDER BY pi_datePi DESC


The reason I'am using the TOP, in this why, is jsut because I want to have equalent to MySQL LIMIT function..
This query works fine, untill I have two entries with the same pi_datePi, then it is selecting them both. If I change the order by field to something different, where the two entries have different values, it works, but then again, it's pointless

How can I have this query to select just one entry, regarded that many rows can have the same value,.???

Thanks
